Governor Goes Missing

The State newspaper reported that neither the governor’s office nor SLED had been able to reach Sanford since he left the governor’s mansion in a black SLED SUV Thursday night.
The governor’s state and personal phones were turned off and he did not respond to phone or text messages, the State said.
Sanford’s office emailed NBC to say “it’s not uncommon for him to go out of pocket for a few days at a time to clear his head.” They said he had let his staff know he’d be difficult to reach.
